Question

At a amusement ,park 360 visitors rode the roller coaster in 3 hours.Write and solve a proportion to find the number of visitors at this rate who will ride the roller coaster on 7 hours

Answer 1

First you need to find out about how many people went on the roller coaster in one hour by doing 360 divided by 3 and you would get 120. So then you would try to find out how many people went on the coaster in 7 hours by doing 360 times 2 because 3 hours multiplied by 2 is 6 and you would do that to find out how many people went on the coaster in 6 hours, and you would get 720. Next, you have 1 more round of people, so you need to do 720 + 120 which is 840. So about 840 people rode the coaster in 7 hours. Hope this helped.
